Rationale: A conference on analytic techniques of dynamical
systems, including perturbation theory, variational methods and stability
theory. The subject will include both finite dimensional Hamiltonian
systems such as in celestial mechanics, and infinite dimensional Hamiltonian
systems, such as those arising from PDE or from other dynamical systems
with infinitely many degrees of freedom.

This workshop is in fact a continuation of a regular series of workshops
on analytic methods for Hamiltonian dynamical systems. This series was
an outgrowth of the famous Oberwolfach workshops organized by J. Moser
and E. Zehnder. The last two workshops took place at the International
Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh, at two year intervals
of time. In the past, we have obtained funding for these meetings from
the European Community, the EPSRC, the NSF Committee for International
Programs, and the Clay Mathematics Institute.
